I suppose it's as easy as stealing the blanket from someone who suffers from or died from smallpox.
Today it would be much easier. We have airplanes, chemtrails, ventilators, supermarkets where everyone gets their food from...
Unless you don't believe in diseases that can spread at all. Like not even measles?
Stealing "A" blanket? Aren't we talking about the charge of genocide?
Like I said, if you go to a gym, you've been exposed to everything there is, then you drag it home with you and sit around your house, bed, etc. Nobody washes their hands, certainly not adequately. It takes at least 30 seconds to wash your hands, I've never seen anyone do it.
More likely, the Indians just had immune systems that had never encountered smallpox and they got sick and died. There was no ill intention.
Another possibility is that it never happened at all.
Again, this magical thinking.
Yeah, could be. I don't care what killed the natives. Just as I don't care about the wellbeing of pygmy people.
I care more about there being plenty of stories of diseases being intentionally spread all throughout history.
There's a lot of stories about a lot of things...I wouldn't worry about it.
